Biometrics such as weight-length relationships (WLRs), length-length (LLRs), well form factor (a3.0) were investigated for three flatfish species, Cynoglossus lingua, arel, and Brachirus pan which captured using seines gill nets between September 2021 March 2022 from the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. The lengths measured to adjacent 0.1 cm accuracy with a digital caliper weights 0.01 g balance eac...

Length-weight and length-length relationships are presented for four fish species from the estuaries of south Johore, Peninsular Malaysia. The values of the exponent b in the length-weight relationships (LWRs) W= aL b ranged from 2.97 to 3.44 and length-length relationships (LLRs) TL= aSL b ranged from 0.87 to 0.95. The application of these regressions should be limited to the observed length r...
